OUR RUG CLEANING PROCESS
In order to properly and safely clean Oriental or antique rugs, a detailed knowledge and years of experience are required. It is not as simple as vacuuming or even beating an area rug out. In fact, vacuuming a delicate area rug repeatedly can cause damage due to the moving parts on the cleaner. Improperly caring for an Oriental rug has the potential to cause numerous blemishes and damage. Loose knots and faded coloring are just a small degree of the potential problems that can arise with improper area rug cleaning. Damaged edges, fraying, and other issues are also common with improper rug cleaning techniques.

Oriental Rug Cleaning
Before our technicians start on any project, it is absolutely essential they conduct a thorough examination of the rug in person. They will ask questions to gain better insight and information about the rug, but an on-site, personal and visual inspection will provide them greater details about the type of rug, its condition, materials and knitting technique used, and much more to ensure proper cleaning and restoration techniques are used from the outset of the process. Often, even owners of these exquisite Oriental rugs are not certain about the weaving method, country of origin, or other details about these area rugs they have in their home. Even the age of the rug will play a factor in the cleaning process. Another significant issue will be the layout, especially as it pertains to wear patterns and where the bulk of the cleaning effort needs to be concentrated.
If an area rug has not received delicate and careful attention for many years, even though it may appear to be faded and worn like a genuine antique, it might not be that old, but this doesn’t mean careful attention to detail and white glove care isn’t essential. When our seasoned experts know exactly what type of Oriental rug they have to work with, they can proceed with the cleaning process, which usually requires multiple stages. In most cases, because of the vast number of years our experts have been cleaning these types of rugs, they are rarely surprised by how each type of fabric reacts to their techniques.

Antique Rug Cleaning
The older an area rug is, the more complicated and perhaps difficult it is to keep clean. Some Oriental and other area rugs could date back hundreds of years. In some cases, they may even be thousands of years old. The older an antique rug is, the more important it is to have proper cleaning techniques in place right from the start. A basic, more recently created area rug might have only one or two owners, each utilizing different cleaning techniques, placed in common walking areas, and therefore the cleaning procedure might be different. For antique rug cleaning, however, it is absolutely essential that Oriental Rug Pros in Wilmette ensure the rug looks as good as it can possibly be based on its age and original state.
Handmade, antique rugs tend to be more durable because of the materials and processes used in creating them, but the older these works of art are, the more they can be affected and impacted by outside forces. How the materials were put together, how the dyes were created, and numerous other factors can directly impact antique rug cleaning. Only the most effective and gentle methods are used by Oriental Rug Pros in Wilmette to ensure the antique rugs in their care are protected and given the best opportunity to bring out their vibrancy, life, and color. Even though your antique rug might be hundreds of years old, the goal of our seasoned professionals is to help it look as close to its original appearance as the day it was finished.

Persian Rug Cleaning
A Persian area rug can take anywhere from several months to over a year to fully create. Designed and handcrafted in the Middle East, these are some of the most popular area rugs due to their artistry, design, and visual appeal. They often utilize some combination of high quality cotton, silk, or exceptionally fine wool in their creation. Because Persian rugs often utilize more than one material, this complicates the Persian rug cleaning process. This is why only highly experienced professionals who have worked on Persian rugs for years should be entrusted to clean your rug, your exquisite artwork.
While different materials being used in concert is only one part of the complicating factors involved in cleaning Persian rugs, another that can pose challenges involves the intricate designs that are often designed into the material based on religious beliefs of the patterns the artisan preferred. Using a vast array of colors is often what makes these rugs considered far more than mere floor coverings. This is also one of the key reasons why Persian rugs are often hung on walls or placed in rooms that see little, if any, actual foot traffic. This helps to maintain integrity and avoid damage, but pets, foot traffic, and even food enjoyed nearby or over them (such as at a dining table) places these Persian rugs in danger of being stained or damaged. Oriental Rug Pros have a keen eye for detail and focus on making sure no inch, no strand of fabric is damaged or loosened during the cleaning process. Discoloration is also a risk factor when pre-and post-colored threads are part of the handcrafted process. That’s why we also provide recoloring options for those Persian rugs that may have faded over the years.

Silk Rug Cleaning
Silk is often considered the penultimate of fabrics. It is soft, pliable, and offers an incredible sheen that simply can’t be duplicated by most other fabrics. It offers high appeal and for Oriental rugs, it is often designed for decoration rather than harsh use. Because of the material, not many people would even dare walk across a silk rug, even if they were barefoot. Yet, dirt and dust will collect on the surface over time, accidents can occur, and for homes with children or pets, the likelihood of damage or even stains can dramatically increase. Because of the material, it becomes possible to work in intricate details and amazingly vivid designs into the surface of a silk rug. Using patterns of vastly different colors and an amazing array of knots makes caring for silk rugs far more complicated than for other Oriental rugs.
Many homeowners and business owners with some rugs find it difficult to obtain professional cleaning services because of this inherent fear of causing damage to such a delicate material. That’s why it’s incredibly important to rely on experienced and delicate techniques. Properly cleaning a silk rug must be done with a fair amount of pace, but not so quick that something can be overlooked or missed. Wherever possible, it’s essential to avoid washing with water because of the sensitive dyes often used in creating these beautiful silk rugs.

Wool Rug Cleaning
There are many benefits to wool as a fabric in area rugs. One of the key benefits is its ability to preserve heat as well as offer comfort. It is a highly durable material that makes it more immune to normal wear and tear, usually in the form of footsteps back and forth across the surface. While it tends to age better than some other materials, it is vital that when you have a wool rug you utilize proper cleaning techniques to ensure longevity. Dirt and dust can damage these surfaces over time. When it comes to handmade wool rugs, the fabric is often tightly woven which means running a vacuum cleaner over the surface will do little to draw out the dirt, dust, and other pollutants (which can include pollen, bacteria, and germs) from deep within those carpet fibers.
When it comes to wool rug cleaning, we begin by dry cleaning those dust and dirt particles out before getting into the more delicate washing and cleansing part of the process. Whether it’s a handcrafted or machine manufactured wool rug, the process of cleaning can often be extensive. The older a wool rug is, the more critical it becomes to utilize proper cleaning techniques to avoid damaging these exquisite surfaces. Even though wool appears impervious to many external damaging forces, it can be highly susceptible to staining, fraying, and loosening of the fabric with him proper cleaning techniques.
